Installing the J2EE Configuration

16 Code and test ColdFusion CFM pages.

Store CFM pages under the web application root (either cfusion-ear/cfusion-war or cfusion-war) and access

these pages using a URL of the form http://hostname:portnumber/context-root/filename.cfm, as follows:

• hostname The machine name, IP address, or localhost.

• portnumber The port number used by your application server’s web server.

• contextroot The context root for the ColdFusion web application. For more information, see “Context

root” on page 28.

• filename The directory path and file to display. The path is relative to the cfusion-war directory.

For example, to display a CFM file located at /opt/jrun4/servers/myserver/cfusion-ear/cfusion-

war/eisapp/index.cfm using the built-in JRun web server and a context root of cfmx, you specify the URL as

http://localhost:8100/cfmx/eisapp/index.cfm.
